still Fighting It

Just an update. I got out of ER late Monday night or early Tuesday. Sent me home with a tank of oxygen.  I hooked myself up to that once I got home. Then I slept all day yesterday. They told me at the ER I had pneumonia due to covid-19 so I am just as surprised as anybody that they sent me home but the doctor said it was not so bad. Bad enough for the oxygen though which reminds me I have to call to get another tank. Thank you to everyone who keeps checking up on me and wishing me well. I think I'm going to beat this, feel a little bit better today than in last 10 days.

Getting all tanked up has a new meaning nowadays.

PS, my nephew (a guy in his early forties) told me that he was on O2 for two months following his infection. I guess it takes time to weather the storm.

Keep up the good fight!

Unless you are dirt poor you might consider purchasing an oxygen generator for home. They cost a few hundred and generally require a signed doctors order...which for people on Medicare is generally a formality. An O2 tank doesn't last very long and I you are O2 dependent a generator can make a big difference.
